Winappdriver: Will WinAppDriver support Hybrid (HTML5) applications?

Mobile & Desktop as well

You can inspect a webview as far as the narrator can see it. A deeper dive into the DOM with WinAppDriver as your starting point is something we're evaluating with the Edge team.

Thanks for you answer, yodurr.

@yodurr I think I wasn't 100% clear, my question is will WinAppDriver support Híbrid application like Cordova-based mobile applications?

Thanks.

Supporting Hybrid applications like Cordova is something we are investigating as well.

Is there any timeline available for adding this feature

[yodurr]

Sorry for the delay in replying to your question. We're still working on the answer.

[yodurr]

Yes, you can test a cordova app. See https://github.com/Microsoft/WinAppDriver/issues/42
for info on how to get the app id when starting up the test session.

Note: this is still only for applications running on Windows PC. Mobile support is on the backlog and is being worked on, no ETA for mobile support yet.

Please share if any update on Cordova app support for Mobile.
Seems, we can launch the Cordova based hybrid apps and do limited operations.

@yodurr Is it possible today to automate webview which is inside a uwp app, using DOM based locators?

Our app is 95% web, but it's embedded as a webview inside a larger UWP app. We only need WinAppDriver in order to navigate to the web part, and from there on it's web only.
